In this shifting world of different looks and makeup and styles and products (and we'll have a separate post on all the makeup experimenting I've been doing lately), sometimes all you need is simple. And for me, this means pulling out the tried-and-true, the blueprint, the top of the heap: Ruby Woo. I've discussed my …
Zero Expectations.
You guys. I expect nothing from this new year. Or any year, really. I just don't. And no, I don't make resolutions. I just take things one day at a time. Keeping an eye on the things to come. Living my life. I mean...the lofty ideals that come with a shiny, brand new date on …
Unrelenting Excitement. (And Other Things.)
I think that best describes how I felt when I heard that my favorite royal Ginger, Prince Harry, had become engaged to his sweetheart, actress Meghan Markle. I won't even link to any articles about this news; if it's the first time you're hearing about this engagement, we just...we have nothing to say to each …

Autumn Promises. (#3)
Dear Autumn, I promise not to blame you for not being the traditional you in a state where it's summer year-round. It's not your fault that heat lives in every tiny corner in this lone star state.

I was excited beyond words, not necessarily because of the historicity of it or the celestial phenomenon, per se. I, This Square Peg, a writer of words and a purveyor of poetry, have used the moon as an allegorical …
The Frompadour Files.
Oh, hey. Have you missed me as much as I've missed you, dear reader? Have you longingly gazed at your notifications, hoping to see that I've reached out to you with another post? No? Well, I love you anyway. It's been a while since I've talked about this fro (known as She) on my larger-than-average …
issa new contribution.
Yep, I'm basically going to tell you every time a write-up that I contribute to The Maria Antoinette goes live. Because of my enduring love for your support of my writing efforts. And because this self-promotion-as-a-writer thing (which we will discuss later) is a new goal of mine, and unlike my goal to avoid bread, …
